5.75 Concentric coil

I get good results with the 5.75 concentric coil on my Golden
 
It sounds like you are doing it logically, fowler. I fight like hell to keep my 8" brown round on as long as possible and then I go to the 5.75. I hate using the 4" coil - it takes forever to cover ground - it gets the job done, but I always feel like I would have better spent my time in an open area with a larger coil.

My exeperience with smaller coils is SWING IT SLOWLY! Very easy to overshoot the target and have to re-find it. Separation and pinpointing are great, however.

Thanks for the input y'all, soon as my "other"5.75 arrives in the mail I will just have to get busy doing some comparisons with the hard wired Compadre 5.75 and some of those dusty Tesoros hanging in the closet. Troy x2 should be interesting , as well as the Inca and the GS II. Having the MGB, the Inca should take to the 5.75 easy enough and it it is a depth hog, though in the extreme trash that won't be so much a factor, but it will be fun hoping it will.LoL! Thanks again. HH, Charlie
 
Concentric or widescan ( double D ) coil. Which would work the best at a salt water beach? Not in the water. Thanks
 
Hey SpiritRelic...SSSSSSSHHHHH....I don't want my 1280 or MXT to know they aren't supposed to work in wet salt sand. I want them to keep finding gold !!!!
 
Hi Ken, more than likely the Concentric, and probably a 9X8 (or thereabouts)would be comfortable and give you enough depth and disc. in the dry sand.The DD/Widescans are known to give a little less depth and not as good at Disc. A lot of trash in the dry sand would not likely be a problem,so stuff should be spread out pretty well.I don't hunt the beach enough to comment much, but have made a coulpe of short hunts there. Didn't find squat, but sweepers hit it regular. Still lots of big crap(little also) further out, since Katrina.Probably never get it all cleaned up.HH, Charlie
 
Dont tell any one where we hunt..HA..HA... KEN

What if the unit has a "Salt Mode"?

the salt mode just turns the machine a little more positive to handle the mineralization. there are a lot of single freq machine that will handle salt and admirably. but they go to the positive side which most units dont. a technician told me who is reworking a single freq tr/vlf old machine for me said he was going to turn mine a little positive for that. My compass xp350 does not have the salt mode of the bigger brother xp pro, but it can handle salt and it can be internally adjusted to handle it better than factory set. the whites coinmaster gt has a salt mode--just turns it a little more positive to hande the minerals. yea the multi freqs probably can handle better and the specific machines for that are supposedly better, but an 1280x and sveral more do just fine.
